MORE FROM LEE MUNRO:
"Heather has settled in really well and is loving every
second of her new adventure, especially golfing in such a fantastic
climate. "Looks like the majority of the Scottish girls that have gone
out there this year are adapting exceptionally well and all seem to be
loving it.
"I think they will all take bad coming back to our
temperatures in December!
